For what it's worth, here's what I did to eventually apply the moveresize patch
: http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/moveresize.
As mentioned in the link given by
alivance once you've created your patch, you can put it in
<portname>/files. So first I created a
~/dwm/config.h file with the moveresize keyboard shortcuts included. It's not something I use very often, so I stuck with the patch creator's suggestions. I then, within the port directory, ran
make DWM_CONFIG=/home/scottro/dwm/config.h extract. I then edited
dwm.c in
work/dwm-6.0/.
As I mention on my own page about DWM,
http://srobb.net/dwm.html, I had to add a
Code:
static void moveresize(const Arg *arg);
line in with the other static declarations. (Otherwise, when I tried to run
make install clean I would be getting errors about the moveresize entries in my custom
config.h.)
Once I did the edits, I could then run
make install clean without a problem Note that I specify the
DWM_CONF part while doing the extract part, not during the install part.
At any rate, once I did this, I made a file by copying
dwm.c to
dwm.c.orig, and ran
diff -uNr dwm.c.orig dwm.c > patch-dwm.c. I then put my newly created patch in the
/usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm/files section. Once that was done, I tested it by doing
make clean and reinstalling with
make DWM_CONF=/home/scottro/dwm/config.h install clean and when done, I had a working
x11-wm/dwm/ with the moveresize patch included.
TL;DR
make extract
Edit the files you want to patch, create your patch, put it in
/usr/ports/x11-wm/dwm/files/ with a name like
patch-<name-of-file> and then do your installation as you would normally, either with Portmaster or
make install.
